About the LANDMARK 43
Carbon mast and boom.
The Landmark 43 is a fractional sloop designed by M.Mills and built by Premier Composite Technologies (UAE) in 2008. With a displacement of 17527.0 lb and a beam of 12.57 ft, this vessel represents a specific era of offshore-oriented design, though the exact number of hulls built remains unconfirmed in available data.
- Best for:
- This boat suits experienced coastal cruisers and offshore adventurers who prioritize a robust, heavy-displacement hull form for stability and sea-keeping. It is well-suited for those seeking a capable bluewater cruiser with modern fractional rigging, provided they are prepared for the maintenance demands of its age.
- Bluewater capability:
- With a capsize ratio of 1.94 and a comfort ratio of 24.01, the Landmark 43 exhibits strong offshore suitability, offering a stable, heavy platform ideal for long-distance cruising. Its fin keel and fractional sloop rig further support its capability for efficient and safe bluewater passage-making.
- Comparables:
- Comparable boats include the Hallberg-Rassy 43 and the Swan 43, which share similar displacement, beam, and offshore pedigree from the late 2000s. These vessels are comparable due to their focus on heavy construction, fin keels, and fractional rigs designed for serious offshore passage-making.
